Below: Koran School which is obligatory and where the Mutawwa (teacher) teaches the Koran. I will post an entry about those mutawwas at another stage. There are lots of them in Riyadh.
Below is about the wedding night. I am interested in the "intensified singing of the idda"... ;-)
Above: An early example of mindmapping! But in fact, it is a thousand years old mathematics script.
Below: An ID of the heir apparent to the throne when he wanted to travel to India. This was given to him by the British authorities back in the days. It's very interesting to read and it shows how perverted colonialism actually is.
